Which radars cover Perry Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFTG (Denver/Boulder, CO), about 43 miles north-northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Perry Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO | 43 mi north-northeast | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 70 mi southeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCYS Cheyenne, WY | 131 mi north | 14,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
